Scream 2

Scream 2 is a 1997 film, the second part of the Scream trilogy. As with the other films in the trilogy, Scream 2 combines straight-forward scares with dialogue that satirizes conventions of slasher films, in this case slasher film sequels.

Phone Voice: [to Randy referring to Dewey and Gale] I'm not interrupting anything, am I? You three look deep in thought. Have you ever felt a knife cut through human flesh and scrape the bone beneath?

---

Mickey Alteri: You should really deal with your trust issues, Sid. I mean, poor Derek, he's completely innocent, and such a nice boy too. He's bright, funny, handsome, he has a great singing voice, and he was gonna be a doctor. This is just the kind of guy you'd love to bring home to mom... if... you had... a mom.

Sidney Prescott: FUCK YOU!!!

---

Joel: I was just reading in your book about your last cameraman, the guy got gutted.

Gale: First of all: he wasn't gutted. I made it up. His throat was slashed.

Joel: Gutted, slashed, the point is the guy ain't in the union no more...Brothers don't last long in situations like this.

Debbie Salt: Just one second. I-I know you probably get this all the time, but I just wanted to say I am such a big fan of your work. I just finished your book. I-I couldn't put it down. Insightful, probing... I just really, really loved your book.

Gale Weathers: Thank you.

Debbie Salt: Sure

Gale Weathers: Thanks. [she is about to leave, but Debbie follows her]

Debbie Salt: I'm a writer myself. I write for the local paper, for the Post Telegram. I'm Debbie Salt. [shakes Gale's hand] I took your seminar in Chicago last year. I was the one in the front row asking all the questions.

Gale Weathers: Right. I thought you looked familiar.

Debbie Salt: Oh, thank you. Um, can't wait to see the movie. You know, you must be getting quite a lot of flak on that, right? I mean, with all the violence-in-cinema issues. What is your position going to be?

Gale Weathers: No comment.

[Gale leaves, as Debbie keeps following her]

Debbie Salt: Miss Weathers, please... I-I would... It would be such an honour for me if I could just get a quote from you for my story.--- [Gale stops]

Gale Weathers: Well, I was hoping I might get just a few words with you.

[Cotton appears]

Sidney Prescott: Cotton.

Cotton Weary: Hi, Sidney.

[Gale starts her report, while Joel is recording]

Gale Weathers: [reporting] "Here we are at Windsor College, where Sidney Prescott has just been reunited with Cotton Weary for the first time, since she wrongly accused him of murdering her mother."---

Sidney Prescott: [interrupts her interview] What the hell are you doing?

Gale Weathers: We want to know how you feel? [continues her interview] Tell us everything that's happened, looking back on the last two years?

[Gale aims her microphone to Cotton, who began to talk to Sidney]

Cotton Weary: Uh Sidney, I'd just like to say that I forgive and forget. And just like you, I'd like to get back on with my own life.

Phone Voice: My pleasure. [after Ghostface comes in arrives and locks Derek out of the house]

[Gale smokes a cigarette, stops, turns to Dewey and Randy]

Gale Weathers: Sorry. All right, Let's just assume the killer is repeating Woodsboro...

[Gale's phone rings; she answers it]

Gale Weathers: Yes?

Gale's Agent: [on the phone] I have Bob calling.

Gale Weathers: I'll have to call you back. [hangs up phone]

Randy Meeks: That doesn't explain Sidney's attack. Sidney wasn't killed in Woodsboro. Wasn't for a lack of trying. The killer is trying to finish what was started.

Gale Weathers: Well Sid's under protection, right?

Randy Meeks: Yeah.

[Gale's phone rings again; she answers it]

Gale Weathers: What?

Gale's Agent: [on the phone] Bob really needs to talk to you.

Gale Weathers: Tell Bob I'll call him back. [hangs up phone]

Deputy Dewey Riley: When'd she start smoking?

Randy Meeks: Ever since those nude pictures on the internet.

Gale Weathers: It was just my head. It was Jennifer Aniston's body. Anyway, you're forgetting something. In Woodsboro, there were more victims before the homestretch.; Tatum, my cameraman, Himbry...---

Joel: Time out! I don't need to be hearing about no dead cameramen, all right? Now I'm warning you guys. I am a verb away from vacating these premises. I'm gonna get me some coffee, donuts, Prozac, see If I can find some crack, Special KX, "not Malcolm and I'll be back when you guys start talking about something a little more Saved By The Bellish, all right?

[Joel leaves]

Deputy Dewey Riley: He seems a little shaky.

Gale Weathers: Don't worry about him. If the killer is following a pattern, maybe we can figure out who's next.

Deputy Dewey Riley: I wouldn't follow a killer's pattern. We were all involved In Woodsboro. Could be any one of us.

Gale Weathers: So what do you wanna do, bonehead? Sit here, wait and see who drops next?

Derek: Oh, thank god, Sidney, I thought I was gonna be up there until opening night.

Sidney Prescott: I'm gonna get you out of here. Derek, he killed Hallie.

Derek: What are you talking about?

Sidney Prescott: The killer! He's here!

Derek: Where?

[Ghostface appears]

Ghostface: [Speaking in the Phone Voice] Right here. You're fast, Sid. I wouldn't do that if I were you. You really wanna trust your boyfriend? [The voice suddenly changes to Mickey's voice] Don't you know history repeats itself? Hm? Sid?

[Ghostface takes off the mask to reveal himself as Mickey, who brings out the voice changer and speaks through it]

Mickey/Phone Voice: Surprise, Sidney!

Gale Weathers: [checking Mrs. Loomis.] Is she dead?

Sidney Prescott: I don't know. They always come back.

[Mickey starts to rise, but Sidney and Gale shoot him many times, until he is dead.]

Cotton Weary: Whoa!

[They all turn around to Mrs. Loomis as Sidney shoots her in the head, dead.]
